The hardest part of this work isn’t walking families through the difficult things.
It’s standing back when they start to shine… and learning how to say goodbye.
What an honor to walk so closely with this family for a season. So proud of you. 🤍

I love this so much. Look for their joy ❤️

We know the holidays can be an extremely stressful time for many disabled kids and their families.
Changes in routine, travel, new visitors, unfamiliar foods, and a flood of sensory input can be overwhelming and dysregulating.

Instead of framing the season around how families can “survive” the holidays, we want to offer a different perspective:
Let’s look for their joy. Let’s celebrate it.

Lean into what brings your child comfort and happiness. Honor that.

For many kids, traditional holiday expectations may not feel joyful, and that is more than okay. Joy might look like spinning in a rolling chair, repeating a favorite line from a show, lining up beloved objects, engaging deeply with a special interest, or choosing quiet over chaos.

There is no need to perform a neurotypical, Hallmark version of the holidays.

When we center each child exactly as they are, we make space for real joy, authentic connection, and true belonging.

And when we share that joy, we help challenge harmful narratives and build a season rooted in care, acceptance, and community for disabled kids and adults alike.

Sometimes OT looks like play… because play is the work!

Today this little reindeer helped us explore:
🧠 motor planning (how do I move my body to navigate the space?)
💪 strength & core stability (pushing, pulling, resisting)
👀 visual-motor skills (hands + eyes working together)
👐 tactile input (different fabrics, textures, pressure)

For kids, learning happens best when it feels safe, playful, and meaningful.

That’s the heart of sensory-based OT.

I had the delight of spending the day dreaming big with some remarkable people! It was an honor to advocate for the special needs families in our community and to envision what accessibility could look like on a larger scale. Exciting developments are on the horizon, Longview!

Therapy was never meant to take place without parents involved! It's time to make some big changes.

You don't have to settle for a 1-minute synopsis at the end of the session where your therapist says "They did great and had fun today! We worked on fine motor skills and speech said they did great, too."

That's not good enough, parents, and we're raising the bar on what you can expect from your child's therapy. It starts with partnering with you and equipping YOU with knowledge and ends with joyful play in our sessions together that lead to big changes for your family.

Don't settle for anything less!
